Along with the first reports on a future BMW 4 Series, here come the first renderings of the rumored new 4 Series family.

Similar to the 6 Series offerings, the 4er models will fit between the 3 and 5 Series and will feature a coupe-like look. By offering a higher positioned coupe, BMW will compete on the market with Audi and Mercedes, which is said to introduce a smaller SLS model.

The new 4 Series will also allow BMW to price the vehicle slightly higher, at a premium price. The overall dynamic design would appeal to a younger demographic as well and will be a viable alternative to the high-end 6 Series Coupe.

Beside the coupe and convertible variants, a four-dour coupe type of vehicle might be introduced as well. The 4 Series Gran Coupe is said to compete with the A5 Sportback and it will feature a coupe-like roof line.

The F35 4 Series Gran Coupe is said to launch in 2015, while the F33 and F34 3er Coupe and Convertible will come to market in 2013.
